I always used to use whatever mono I wasn't using on my spinning reel, @ the moment, if I didn't have a spool of light mono/ me. (Had a Garcia Mitchell/ a shallow and deep spool, on the one, I'd keep ¿8lb. +/-? y on the other, I had a bit heavier line.

mono doesn't work on trout they can see it if you use it on a fly-rod. Have to use a very light line or a floracarbon

I always use a fc tippet, 5X - 7X, clear water here.

Caught plenty of Bass and Bluegill/ Sunfish that way. Never have caught a trout, in a millpond.

Regardless of what it’s made of leaders for fly fishing are tapered to help turn them over at the end of a cast. Mono and Fluoro are both used. Mono tends to float and Fluoro tends to sink.; mono is more visible than Fluoro which is almost invisible in water. I use mono tapered leaders with a couple feet of small Fluoro for a tippet getting the most out of both. I can see the mono leader on the surface but the Fluoro is subsurface up to the fly and less likely to be seen by the fish. The clear the water the more important this is. For nymphing, Fluoro is the way to go. But yes, tapered leaders.
